middle class man

its flooded, the walls are cracked
whos to pay for it
piled up insurance checks?
the blisters on my back
a fourty eight year old
waiting for a heart attack
my eyes roll in my sleep
and my hair winds down my abilities
and i keep on the sound
when its raining out
watch what youve built hit the ground

so what, so what, so what, so what, so what
im a middle class man
thats where i'll be standing
show up *5
take a walk in my shoes coz theres 
one, two, three of them

im making up my mind
id rather hear it now
before it takes up all my time
ive got an axe to grind
its so insatiable
im just killing myself trying to find
the business side of life
id rather leave it out
before it takes up all my time
coz i keep losing sleep
and when it gets so hard
i think at least im not yet forty nine
chorahhhhh
